okay, here's an idea/proposal for how we could introduce widget
functionality into Roller.
I am calling this an "idea" right now because the proposal is
deliberately left unfinished in many areas. The reason for that is
because I felt it would be a waste of my time to try and design the
entire experience up front when it's most likely we'll be discussing and
changing our minds about things.
So, right now I am operating under the general assumption that we all
believe widgets would be a good addition to Roller in some form or
another and we just need to figure how we want to do it. The proposal
below lays out the general approach and what I think the major
components would be, it doesn't go into details about exact changes to
the data model, code, and UI, we can flush that stuff out once we are
all agreed on the overall approach ...

Please have a quick read and offer some feedback here on the list. This
is a big feature so active discussion would be good.
